I'd say that she looks a little thin for her length, but nowhere near unhealthy.

Yeah, I don't know much about those morphs but I have heard of those and I thought it could possibly be that. Black back or not it looks cool!

If she will take them. if you know that shed weighs 316 grams, then you can determine how much you should feed her. The rule is 15% of her body weight, so you should feed her 47.4 grams of rodent (316*0.15=47.4)
It doesn't need to be exact (+/- 5 grams isn't going to hurt)

She is definitely ready for small rats. She is thin for her length, but not necessarily underweight. Did that make sense ? If she were very underweight, you could see it. She'd be triangular shaped and not rounded like she is. Sure she could be a little heavier, but she is not in poor condition.
